A society is in decay, final or transitional, when common sense has really become very uncommon. Straightforward ideas appear strange or unfamiliar, and any thought that does not follow the conventional curve or twist, is supposed to be a sort of joke.
With antisemitism at record levels, empty promises are not enough.
The government, Parliament, police and courts must take urgent action to deal with the racists and extremists.
And we must all stand up for the Jewish community and our country’s values. https://t.co/bDVtxVWslI
Message for the good people of Dudley: someone must know who these scumbags are.
Let’s find them and make sure they don’t get away with stealing some poor old pensioner’s cash https://t.co/oxegKNNbkw
Sudan is the world’s greatest humanitarian catastrophe.
Thousands of civilians murdered this week
The UK has UN responsibility for Sudan so I spoke in Parliament today to demand we get aid in, protect civilians, press for a ceasefire and enforce an arms embargo
The public must stand up for Britain’s Jewish community, the authorities must stand up to extremism and Parliament and the BBC must curb the anti-Israel obsession that fuels antisemitism: my column for @TheSun, Britain’s best-read Sunday paper. https://t.co/IQf00UN9Ux
It’s absurd to see the PM pleading with heartless protestors not to intimidate grieving Jews and overstretch police resources.
Time for the govt to accept my report recommendation to give police powers to say no to marches at moments like this

Imagine the level of arrogance and sanctimony that would allow you to believe your protest is more important than the police keeping people safe - especially on Shabbat after Thursday’s attacks.
Should be ashamed of themselves.
Don’t miss tonight at the Mill I’m playing there with my band Muddy Scooter lots of great tunes from the classic bands. See you there from 8pm. Free entry
If you’re outraged by Gaza, good, but outrage without honesty is just performance.
Ask the real questions: Why is humanitarian aid being blocked or stolen by Hamas?
Why do terror leaders live in luxury while civilians starve?
Why does every “aid truck” come with a side of propaganda or booby-trapped shipments?
Why are aid lines near weapons depots?
Israel isn’t targeting food, it’s targeting those who’ve used schools, hospitals, and aid convoys as shields. Calling for peace is noble.
But calling for peace without disarming the aggressors is just naïveté dressed as activism.
